Augment Reality for Otaku – Cyber Maid Alice

Been reading up on Augment Reality or AR for short. It’s a field where science fiction meets reality. The latest is from Japan, Cyber Maid Alice. With a webcam and some paper cubes, you can manipulate a virtual doll and change her clothes and interact with the virtual character. While there is a hefty price tag for Cyber Maid Alice, ad agencies and magazines are already using this technology from soft drinks to baseball cards.
